I've been looking at irons, there are some right good ones on the market.

A £20 model from tesco wi...

My training troop (935), did the drill display for the annual RMA congregation at CTCRM on Sept 8th, it was nice to get eyes on such a hoofing boss as JJ Moore. My kings squad pass out was a week later, I still cant believe he died the day after my KSPO. I joined Lima Coy at 42 so was fortunate to b...

Just got back from my second 5 miler. I knocked 2 mins off the time. I now do it in 58mins where earlier this week I managed it in an hour!!!!

Stinks, you have summed yourself up there, that is the quo...

During my PRMC I missed my girlfriend a lot more than I thought I would. It's made me re-think if it's really what I want to do. We are very close and hope to get married and all the rest one day. If you miss your girlfriend after 3 days on PRMC then you would struggle to get through training and g...

Hello all, I am tired so excuse me I have not posted on here properly for a few months so I thought I would raise my head and say hello as well as big up mfat.co.uk and the Royal Marines.

Hi mate, I am 28 and half way through recruit training, age is not a problem at all. The hardest part is putting up with immature kids who think the Marines is the c...
